In today’s podcast, recorded on my way into town this morning, I talk about some of my learning and thinking from Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation. Specifically, it’s a chance to respond to a question Zac sent my way regarding just what I meant when I said in my presentation on show and tell that you can choose how much is enough when it comes to transparency, or words to that effect. Yeah. It bothered me, too, when I said it, but not because I’m wrong. I think. Listen to the podcast and let me know what you think. #
If you get a chance, take a few minutes to read the responses to the writing prompt from the session. I’m still digging through them. Thoughtful. #
I was reading your blog, I became curious about the Learning 2.0 in Colorado so I checked out the link. On that page I found the most inspirational statement, “Education is conversation. Conversation creates change.”

I think what you say at the end of your podcast is key. Purposeful transparency is more about sharing what is worth sharing than about hiding the rest.
Thanks for the clarification on purposeful transparency. I loved your thoughts about sharing information, not to boast or create jealousy, but mearly to share so that perhaps greater learning can rise out of our collaborative ideas.
Great podcast!

How many of us have cringed when a friend or family posted news or photos on Facebook we would have liked to keep to ourselves? Or, perhaps, we made the post and can’t figure out why people are upset. An educator I’ve come to respect, Bud Hunt a.ka. budtheteacher, approaches this question with an idea he calls purposeful transparency. [...]
